Unlocking the Power of Routine Dental Cleanings: A Pathway to Optimal Oral Health
Preventive care is the cornerstone of every healthy smile. That’s why High Forest Dental emphasizes dental cleanings every six months. These cleanings go beyond what brushing and flossing can achieve, removing plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas. If it’s been a while since your last dental cleaning in Lakewood, Colorado, schedule an appointment with us today!
What happens during a dental cleaning appointment?
At our office in Littleton, Colorado, you can expect a comfortable and seamless dental experience. Dr. Allison Brown will administer a thorough assessment of your teeth and gums for signs of gum disease, cavities, and other issues. Digital X-rays may be used to detect hidden dental problems, such as abscesses, cysts, interdental cavities, and impacted teeth.
After an examination, it’s time for a dental cleaning. The dentist/dental hygienist uses specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar from areas you can’t reach with your at-home dental tools. You may feel a scraping sensation, but the cleaning doesn’t cause pain.
Afterward, we use gritty toothpaste to smooth your teeth, leaving your smile glossy and polished. A typical cleaning appointment takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour, but the benefits are long-lasting. Our new patient appointments typically take 90 mins.
What is deep teeth cleaning?
Everyone needs a standard dental cleaning every six months or more often, depending on their oral health needs. However, not everyone needs a deep teeth cleaning. We recommend this type of cleaning for patients with gum disease. Unlike standard cleanings, deep teeth cleanings are more extensive, removing unhealthy deposits from the deep pockets. The dental hygienist also uses anesthesia, and more than one visit may be needed for severe infections.
